The Arizona Cardinals offered mercy to Tennessee Titans, and Cam Ward did the rest | Estes
The Tennessee Titans and Cam Ward stepped up and got away with one in the desert, thanks largely to the merciful and generous Arizona Cardinals.
NEW: While I’ve no idea what they did in Arizona to anger the football gods so much, I’d prefer to think of this game as mercy, not vengeance. To me, it was karma looking at the poor #Titans and saying, “OK, here’s your chance. Do what you will with it.”

NEW: It’s debatable how historic Nashville SC’s U.S. Open Cup trophy was in comparison to the state’s other pro teams, but that shouldn’t diminish what it signifies for Nashville SC.
It’s a well-deserved symbol of success, years in the making. #EveryoneN

Jeffery Simmons is calling out the 'best' Titans players, and he's right | Estes
These Tennessee Titans will go as far as their best players are able to take them, and so far, it's not enough.
NEW: The #Titans obviously need more talent on the roster, but are they devoid of talent? No. They have well-paid players. What they don’t have are enough well-paid players making impacts in games.
And Jeffery Simmons just pointed that out.

This play-calling change was typical Tennessee Titans: Reactive, not proactive | Estes
If Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan truly believed it was best for Bo Hardegree to be calling plays, he would've made this move months ago.
NEW: Bo Hardegree might be a fine play-caller, but if he's the best choice, why not do this months ago?
Because that's what these #Titans do. They wait and make important decisions reactively, from a position of weakness, rather than proactively.

Vanderbilt football's evolution is obvious on the field — and in FirstBank Stadium | Estes
From the dominant team to a fun atmosphere to an upgraded stadium, Vanderbilt football has shed its old self and become a place to be.
NEW: From the on-field dominance to the renovated stadium to the crowd noise to even a cool halftime show including jabs at vanquished foes, all of it just …
… didn’t feel like Vanderbilt.
That’s not a slight. It’s applause for those responsible.

What's the US Open Cup? It's a tournament Nashville SC is close to winning | Estes
Nashville SC's U.S. Open Cup semifinal victory over the Philadelphia Union put the club near its first trophy. What would that mean in Nashville?
NEW: Nashville SC gets to play a road game on Oct. 1 for the first championship of the club’s existence. That's a potentially big deal. An achievement worth noting and celebrating.
Even if you are sitting and wondering, “What’s the U.S. Open Cup?”

SEC raises middle finger to baseball, including Tennessee vs Vanderbilt, on 2026 schedule | Estes
By moving high-profile rivalries like UT-Vandy into the shadow of March Madness, the SEC showed how little it thinks about its baseball audience.
NEW: For some reason, the SEC moved its best baseball rivalries (UT-Vandy, Alabama-Auburn, Ole Miss-Miss State) to the same weekend as March's NCAA basketball regionals.
It was a slap in the face to many of the league's baseball programs and fans.

Nashville's Blades Brown didn't wait to start the long road to pro golf stardom | Estes
After betting on his game by turning pro at age 17, Blades Brown is busy working to earn his place on the PGA Tour.
NEW: Nashville's next native sports superstar might be a teenager who dropped out of high school to hang out at golf courses.
I ask Blades Brown if that feels like a job yet.
“I’m glad you asked,” the 18-year-old replied with a grin.

No one believes in Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward as much as, well, Cam Ward | Estes
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward acts like someone who still knows something about himself that the public doesn't. That’s because he always has.
NEW: Let's talk Cam Ward. A prediction: Whether this #Titans season is shockingly good or every bit as bad as anticipated, it isn't going to deter Ward’s confidence in himself. That’s the superpower he's bringing this party.
He’s gonna need it, too.

I’ll be glad when we get through a few weeks of this and can go back to not really caring that much about UNC football.

Who will the Packers starting left tackle be?
LaFleur: “We shall see next week.”
Has LaFleur decided who it will be?
“Maybe.”

Titans' vibes are indeed better. But it takes players, not vibes, in the NFL | Estes
Resistance to the sirens’ song of the preseason is strongly advised, Titans fans, no matter how much you want to hear of camaraderie and leadership.
NEW: Resistance remains advised, #Titans fans, to the sirens’ song of an NFL preseason at its end.
Your team is crooning of better leadership and camaraderie, and indeed, the vibes are better. It’s just vibes don’t win games in the NFL. Players do that.

The NFL and ESPN deal is a threat to journalistic integrity. Just look at the SEC | Estes
With ESPN and the NFL about to become partners, the SEC Network's insipid spring football series was a troubling sign.
NEW: If you think the NFL/ESPN merger isn’t a threat to journalistic integrity, then perhaps take a look at the SEC.
The SEC Network is still pushing “all-access” shows from spring football practice that were infomercials produced by programs themselves.

Yes. I see your point.
I meant that more on a micro level of teams and coaches having motivation to want to play a fourth nonconference game against a directional school to help playoff chances.
